Highly recommended

I hired Meredith to represent me in a divorce/child custody case. Meredith was informative, compassionate, easy to work with, prompt with all her responses and explained everything in a way that I could understand. The whole legal process is long and stressful, but both Meredith and her paralegal, Ar...in made it all less scary. In the end I was highly satisfied with my outcome and I could tell Meredith really cared. She also knew that as a single mother finances were tight for me and she was happy to work with me in that area as well. I would highly recommend her.

Very satisfied customer

Meredith helped our family through obtaining custody of and adopting our youngest daughter. She also prepared power of attorneys for my husband and myself. She and her paralegal, Erin, were both knowledgeable and professional. They researched our issue and came up with a plan we all agreed on. They w...ere both warm and caring. We truly felt supported in our endeavor. Meredith even brought a special flower to the adoption hearing for our daughter, making a special occasion.

Thoroughly helpful and efficient

I was referred to Meredith by a friend of mine who was about a year ahead of me in the divorce process. My friend highly recommended Meredith. After interviewing a number of local attorneys, I determined that Meredith was the best choice for me. Meredith not only listened compassionately, she als...o handled my divorce case with intelligence, ease, and as much efficiency as possible, ensuring that the needs of my children were addressed to my satisfaction. I will continue to utilize her services as needed going forward.

Competent, effective and caring attorney!

I hired Meredith after being referred to her by a friend that used her services for a family court matter and was very pleased with the service provided and the outcome of his case. I had the same experience. Meredith handled my case competently, effectively and it was clear that she cared. I also fe...lt very informed of the process, the status of my case and my options. I would highly recommend Meredith Boudrie as an attorney.

I would find another attorney!

I would highly recommend you find a different attorney. She claims she did things for a certain period of time, and when I talked to the person she talked to during that time, they said it was drastically less time. When I got a new attorney and they reviewed her charges, they confirmed she overcharg...ed. Charged for EVERYTHING, and beefed up the time to seem longer. She didn't do anything for my case, so I got another attorney and I regret wasting so much time and money with her services. I would suggest you learn from my mistake and go woth someone else. She talked down to me when she didn't agree, and for what she was charging she could have pretended to be nice. I'm sure she has helped people, but I wasn't one of them.

I am sorry that you feel this way. I would encourage you to contact me. If these concerns were brought to my attention, they could have been addressed. I do not over-charge clients and do not nickel and dime them. My hourly rates are comparable or low when looking at others in my practice area with the same amount of experience. I always tell my clients to contact me if they have questions about their bill. I would never speak down to a client and pride myself on being kind and compassionate. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, we cannot make everyone happy and the law often dictates what we can and cannot do. I have helped hundreds of people get out of bad situations, with good results. I was never made aware by anyone that they felt the way this reviewer felt. I can't explain or fix something if it's not brought to my attention.
